About
Toshinori Fujie is a leading figure in the field of soft robotics and bio-integrated electronics, where his work bridges the gap between flexible materials and biomedical applications. His research centers on developing ultra-thin, conformable devices—from epidermal strain sensors to soft microrobots—that can seamlessly interface with biological tissues. Fujie’s major contributions include pioneering an ultrathin epidermal strain sensor based on an elastomer nanosheet with inkjet-printed conductive polymer (53 citations), which minimizes interference with natural skin deformation, and advancing stretchable heaters and strain sensors using liquid metals. He has also explored graphene/Au hybrid antenna coils for ultra-thin biomedical devices (18 citations) and bio-inspired soft amoeboid microrobots (12 citations), demonstrating a unique ability to merge materials science with biological inspiration. His work on flexible thin-film heaters composed of laser-induced graphene and poly(D, L-lactic acid) for cancer thermotherapy (2025) highlights his ongoing impact in medical robotics. With a consistent focus on biocompatibility and conformability, Fujie’s innovations are shaping the future of wearable electronics, soft robotics, and therapeutic devices, making him a key researcher for students interested in the intersection of materials engineering and healthcare.
